Lower Price, More Features
At $105–$180/mo, Gingr costs less than Goose's $200–$300 plans — while including a pet parent app, report cards, and training management that Goose doesn't offer at any price.
Pet Parent App
Give clients a dedicated app to book, check in, and receive updates. Goose doesn't offer a pet parent app — and modern pet parents expect one.
Automated Report Cards
Over 50 million photo and activity updates sent. Report cards build trust and keep clients coming back — and Goose can't match this.
PreCheck Digital Check-In
Proven revenue driver generating $15–$25 per reservation. Saves 5 minutes per check-in. No AI hype — just measurable ROI.
Battle-Tested Platform
Goose launched in 2023 and is still working through growing pains. Gingr has been refining boarding and daycare operations for 9+ years across 5,500 locations.
The True Monthly Cost
Goose raised prices 33% in 2026. Here's what you actually get for your money.
